There is no authentic, primary record of John Cooley's
family. Genealogical proofs exist only for his sons James and Reuben. Edward is mentioned in a deed but the relationship is not
stated. But DNA has come to the rescue! Although specific lineages are not
recorded in our genes, we can compare the genetic record with the
documentary record and come up with convincing evidence.

I've been corresponding with Sandra Stanton
and others in an attempt to find male descendants of John Cooley. To that end, I've put together the
following. This is not in any way intended to be a complete genealogy (after
all, there are no daughters!) but I've added, where I can find them, links
to additional information. Nor is there any guarantee that what follows is
accurate. I present it as is--and to function in its only real task:
determining living male descendants in hopes that we may find others who
will want to have their Y chromosomes tested for markers.

Tested lines appear in red. All results match, proving the genetic
connection. Please refer to additional lineages
for more information.
